More socially acceptable than a megaphone in a public space, and probably more effective: make your Meetup easy to find by sharing your location privately with other members when you arrive.
To do this, start at your Meetup Messages on the Android or iOS app:
Android App
- Tap the Messages tab.
- Start a new message by tapping the + icon.
- Enter the names of the members you want to receive your location.
- Tap the pin icon to the left of the text box.
- Tap Share location to send your location.
iOS App
- Tap the Messages tab.
- Start a new message by tapping the + icon.
- Enter the names of the members you want to receive your location then tap Done.
- Tap the pin icon to the left of the text box.
- Tap Share to send your location.
When you share your location, recipients will see the following:
Just like any Meetup message, only those members you choose will be able to see your shared location.
Important Note about Group Conversations: if you share your location in a group conversation, anyone who joins the conversation later will still be able to see your shared location on the map.
For your safety, it’s best to avoid using this tool when you are in a private location such as your home or workplace.
